heartfelt call for action. Quite literally. Unlike other authors,
Kaufman gives a range of tools and alternative strategies for
dieting, exercise and mindset to achieve health and fitness goals
that are realistic and far-reaching, and he encourages even minor

avers that it's never too late to reverse aging and ill health."
